๐ฃLAST day to support our Refill the Shelves Campaign! ๐ฃ
Not Familiar?
Every year, Books for Keeps distributes 75,000+ books to over 6,000+ elementary students. At our school-based Pop-up Book Fairs, every child has the opportunity to personally select 12 new, high-interest books that they want to take home for keeps, one for every week of the summer ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
All books are provided at no cost to kids, families, or schools, thanks to YOU! Our community of donors helps make this possible, starting with our Refill the Shelves campaign each summer!
We have a big goal to raise $10,000 to get books back onto our shelves that we can give to kids across our community, and we'd love your support! ๐

Weโve been so excited to share about our recent recognition by the Georgia Council on Literacy with a 2026 Georgia Reads Community Award and a $20,000 investment in our Storytellers Program.
The extra fun part? We got to bus Fowler Drive and H.B. Stroud 1st and 2nd grade students to the district office to receive one of Malcom Mitchellโs book and do a read aloud with Malcom himself! (Plus, we got 700 additional books to use in our book access programming!)
We think the impact and how we got here is worth shouting from the rooftops, and itโs special to see others agree!
Want to get involved? Our Literacy Mentor application is on our website & linked in our bio.
Thank you , our staff that work to make this happen, teachers that coordinate day in and day out, and our 140+ literacy mentor volunteers that show up WEEKLY for their students.
This is a community wide award for a community effort; letโs keep it up!
